'We have thrown 15 years of institutional learning out the window'
Leaked emails show top public health experts raised alarm about the Trump administration's botched coronavirus response
As the coronavirus outbreak rapidly spread across the world and into the United States, a number of public health experts both within and outside of the federal government sounded the alarm about the severity of the crisis on an email chain they called "Red Dawn."
Nearly 80 pages of the emails were obtained via public records requests and
published in full by The New York Times.
The correspondence was initially started by the Department of Homeland Security's top medical officer Duane Caneva eventually expanded to include top officials from the Department of Homeland Security, Health & Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Veterans Affairs, Trump's former Homeland Security Advisor Tom Bossert, and a number of top academics and infectious disease specialists.
In addition to the "Red Dawn" emails, The Times also published a lengthy,
investigative review of all the instances Trump brushed aside warnings of the severity of the coronavirus crisis, failed to act, and was belabored by significant infighting and mixed messages from the White House over what action to take and when.
